The importance of photography.

Every photographer, of course, is going to talk about capturing moments, blah blah, all that stuff is true and you already know that. We’ve never had a client walk in who didn’t value that.

But not every family treasures the rare, the hard to find, the exquisitely peaceful serious photograph.  Our fave example (recently) is the amazing photo by Annie Leibovitz for Vogue August 2014:

 

 

Here’s our take on it with Lori Sidler, who is a community volunteer for the Junior League of Collin County and her beautiful daughter, Brooke.

 

 

Lori just adores Brooke — it radiates out of her entire face. Can’t hide it.  So naturally she’s got hundreds of photos of her smiling, and dancing and being young, and impulsive and fun.

But this is one that Brooke will still adore when she’s 15. When she’s 30. When she’s 55. It’s a game changer.  It’s not a photo you look at and think “remember that time?”, its a photo that you see yourself in at every age.

 

Brooke wants to hang a photo of her & mom on her bedroom wall.  She’d also like more photos of just her mom for their house.

 

Now that’s a girl that values photography. And nobody had to tell her…
